Organic Wine: What to Buy, What to Avoid
Organic Wine: What to Buy, What to Avoid
May 13, 2013 6(HuffingtonPost) - "Do you offer organic wine?" It's a question I hear frequently while on the wine trail.
Wine retailers, once cautious about the idea are suddenly eager to stock organic wine. A smattering of selections has burgeoned in recent years, crowding store displays. Once on the fringe, brands featuring words like nature, earth and the prefix "eco" now edge closer to the wine mainstream as consumer interest intensifies. But the simple question remains: which wines labeled as organic are really worth a look?
Not many, it turns out. Wine brands marketed as organic are seldom worth bringing home again. It's unusual to find a drinkable red -- with Organic splashed across the front label -- which begs another taste.
For supporters of organic consumption, there's a bright side; one you'll find useful if you support some notion of organic farming and expect well-made wine to boot.
